Just out of curiousity, what class are you normally, and how many weapons do you use?

Also, has anyone tried playing without weapons at all?  You get a 200% power cooldown reduction, so I thought that maybe someone tested it out, to see how effective it may be.

Krogan Soldier ----> shotgun is everything i use but i dont really shoot anything. just carrying it for more melee damage

[Thunderfurby]

The game doesn't let you play without a weapon, however some upgraded pistols/SMGs/Assault Rifles will let you get the 200% cd reduction if you only use 1 weapon.

Ever since I figured out the whole weight/cd reduction thing I now only use 1 weapon on each character.

[G3rman]

No combat animations for no weapons, you can't do it.

You cannot have zero weapons equipped, you must always have a gun in your hands. However, with a few points in the race specific passive, and just carrying the Predator, you can easily have +200% cooldown reduction.

I can say Engineer and Adept are extremely fun to play with very short cooldowns on powers; I even play my Vanguard carrying only a Phalanx (not going to try to take this character into Gold though...). For the first round or so of a characters life though, they aren't going to have many powers, or powerful powers, so you are better off carrying guns into the fight.

Only use upgraded pistol on my Sentinel and Adept. I play them mostly as casters though.

[Magicman10893]

I use my Adept and my Vanguard the most. On both I use the Avenger X Assault Rifle because it is very light and versatile. With my skills I get reduced weapon weight so the Avenger still gets a 200% bonus.

On my Soldier I stick the Avenger and either the Mantis or the Katana since they don't have a lot of powers. My Krogan Soldier uses the Revenant and a Katana or Mantis.

I and some of my friends use pistols only to reduce cooldown. Also, it won't let you use no weapons, you have to pick at least one.

I play my krogan soldier with just an AR for those times when you need to take enemies out from a range. Otherwise, I just melee everything to death.

[Night Wraith]

Usually only one weapon but maybe two depending on the class. Always try to keep my recharge up.

Me and 3 friends went into Silver with this exact setup and steamrolled everything. On Gold it worked until about wave 4 when they started rolling in Atlas after Atlas.

Two guns, Avenger is ALWAYS one of them. On soldier, I use the Phalanx pistol as secondary and on Vanguard Scimitar shotgun, because of it's faster rate of fire.

[JumboWheat01]

I always roll with one gun on my Sentinel, so even with the hit my cool down takes with Tech Armor, I can still chuck throw with relative impunity. It's fun. I lean more towards SMGs, since I have both the clip-size upgrade and the upgrade that gives my a 25% chance of not using ammo. So when I do have to shoot, I can do it longer.

[Xerxes52]

I use an AR and a Heavy Pistol for my Infiltrator, although I'm thinking of ditching the pistol for faster cooldowns.

I would probably either drop the Avenger or replace it with the Predator to increase your cooldown speed. Especially since the Biotic Charge can replenish your shields.

My Krogan sticks with the avenger. Makes him alot more versatile, no real need for shotgun as melee is so damn powerful. :3

Do the same with my krogan

and my turian.
Need overload and warp ready to take down defense and line up the kill.

One weapon only, all classes. Being able to put out both powers and slugs rapidly effectively doubles your damage, and pretty much every weapon has enough spare ammo to get you through at least one wave so there is little need to switch weapons. By level 8 or so every class is able to carry pretty much any weapon and get around 180 percent or more cool down bonus with proper Fitness leveling. Probably the only class I would say should still carry two weapons would be sniping-focused Infiltrators in case they get swarmed.

Soldier: Using just Avenger X, able to practically spam Adrenaline with a 180 percent CD bonus.
Infiltrator: Close quarters set-up, using Katana III shotgun, CD around 170 IIRC.
Adapt: Head-shotting Phalanx Pistol and 200 percent CD bonus Stasis. It is glorious.
Engineer: Avenger X plus on-demand Incinerate Spam.
Vanguard: Katana shotgun again, but found Tempest works pretty well too.
Sentinel: Just started, but doing fine cool-down-wise with Avenger X and Tech Armor active.

[Mike Aus]

Yep, only a single weapon. The pistol (Phalanx) seems to be appropriate for all situations and it offers great cooldown for your powers.

[Mand0l1n]

Phalanx for my adept. Sometimes a tempest as well to help with atlas shield whittling.

[goofyomnivore]

Carnifex+Katana -- Infiltrator and Vanguard
Carnifex -- Sentinel and Adept

I use the gun as much as I use the shotgun. It's very good when I have to take down ranged enemies and it holds a lot of ammo. Plus it weights barely anything.

[JerZey CJ]

I just started using only my Phalanx Mk IV on my Vanguard, just charging and Nova'ing everything.

[absolute.territory]

Just an SMG for my human Vanguard. INSTANT RECHARGEEE

[Kloreep]

For power-focused classes like Adept & Engineer, one Avenger X is all I bring. A fairly all-purpose weapon, and the full +200% cooldown once you unlock that class's weight-reduction rank.
